Model-independent Properties and Cosmological Implications of the Dilaton and Moduli Sectors of 4-d Strings
We show that if there is a realistic 4-d string, the dilaton and moduli supermultiplets will generically acquire a small mass ∼ O(m 3/2), providing the only vacuum-independent evidence of low-energy physics in string theory beyond the supersymmetric standard model. The only assumptions behind this result are (i) softly broken supersymmetry at low energies with zero cosmological constant, (ii) t...
متن کاملSome Implications of the Cosmological Constant to Fundamental Physics
In the presence of a cosmological constant, ordinary Poincaré special relativity is no longer valid and must be replaced by a de Sitter special relativity, in which Minkowski space is replaced by a de Sitter spacetime. In consequence, the ordinary notions of energy and momentum change, and will satisfy a different kinematic relation. Such a theory is a different kind of a doubly special relativ...
متن کاملAbelian Hidden Sectors at a GeV
We discuss mechanisms for naturally generating GeV-scale hidden sectors in the context of weak-scale supersymmetry. Such low mass scales can arise when hidden sectors are more weakly coupled to supersymmetry breaking than the visible sector, as happens when supersymmetry breaking is communicated to the visible sector by gauge interactions under which the hidden sector is uncharged, or if the hi...
متن کاملCosmological Implications of Neutrinos
The lectures describe several cosmological effects produced by neutrinos. Upper and lower cosmological limits on neutrino mass are derived. The role that neutrinos may play in formation of large scale structure of the universe is described and neutrino mass limits are presented. Effects of neutrinos on cosmological background radiation and on big bang nucleosynthesis are discussed. Limits on th...
متن کاملCosmological implications of neutrinos
(Plenary talk at the XVI International Workshop on Weak Interactions and Neutrinos, Capri, June 22-28 1997) Massive neutrinos were the first proposed, and remain the most natural, particle candidate for the dark matter. In the absence of firm laboratory evidence for neutrino mass, considerations of the formation of large scale structure in the universe provide a sensitive, albeit indirect, prob...
